G.I. Bleeding

Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is a symptom of a disorder in your digestive tract. The blood often appears in stool or vomit but isn’t always visible, though it may cause the stool to look black or tarry. The level of bleeding can range from mild to severe and can be life-threatening.

Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding alludes to any draining that begins in the gastrointestinal tract. Draining may come from any site along the GI tract, yet is frequently separated into:

Upper GI Bleeding: The upper GI tract incorporates the throat (the cylinder from the mouth to the stomach), stomach, and initial segment of the small digestive tract.

Lower GI Bleeding: The lower GI lot incorporates a significant part of the small digestive system, large intestine or entrails, rectum, and anus.

Modern imaging technology, when required, can ordinarily find the reason for the bleeding. Treatment relies upon the wellspring of the bleeding. The execution of GI Bleedings needs a prepared gastroenterologist with mastery in interventional gastroenterology.

Symptoms

How much GI draining might be little to the point that it must be identified on a lab test, for example, the fecal occult blood test. Different indications of GI bleeding include:

• Dark, Black stools
• Bigger measures of blood passed from the rectum
• Modest quantities of blood in the latrine bowl, on tissue, or in streaks on stool (excrement)
